Rain Bird Residential Valve Troubleshooting: Using the Bleed Screw to Fix a Sprinkler Leak

- This video shows how to use the valve bleed screw to solve a leaky sprinkler problem. Try this tip before replacing a residential valve that leaks.
Sometimes sprinklers continue to water a little even after the irrigation controller has turned off. One reason this could happen is if there is debris that has been caught in the valve and the valve can't close all the way. Using the bleed screw to open the valve all the way could flush the debris out and the sprinklers could shut off properly.

This is brilliant, solving a week-long worry in 40 seconds.
I was racking my brains out trying to fix leaking sprinkler heads on the same station until I viewed this short video! Never thought of this! Thank you.
Irrigation system was leaking when off. This fixed it instantly. 👍
This was exactly my problem. Watched your video and it fixed my problem. Thank you
Thank you this helped me .
Gosh. This saved my life!
Excelente vídeo 👍🏼
Thank you!
I wish this fixed it. Used the bleed screw and also popped off the top and the diaphragm and flushed out the system. Still leaking. 1 year old valve too!
When valve is open, water sprays out from body of valve, no water from drip lines.
Do you bleed the system while the sprinklers are on or off?
When you bleed your system the sprinklers will turn on automatically
After will the sprinkler still leak for awhile ?
Unfortunately, now the bleed screw drips and tightening it just stripped it. All plastic.
That’s unfortunate. It may be the screw itself so I would try and order a replacement from rainbird, idk if you could pick one up from HD or Lowe’s. I’ve messed with my bleed screws about 5 times and I have not had any issues with leaks. Just hoping to help.
Such an easy fix, I did it myself.
I only get my sprinklers to work when I open bleed screw which means it bleeds as shown in the picture and then I get water in sprinklers
After using the bleed screen the value will not close.
Im having trouble. My water sprinkler wont turn on if i dont looses the screw. What do you think could be the problem? Do i twist the solenoid all the way off and then unscrew it for the water to come manually? Really frustrating:/
How did you fix it? Mine is doing same as you described
@@vivektube123mine is also doing the same. Did you ever find a fix?
@@Los714 I had it replaced completely
What if you do pull out the bleed screw all the way 😬???
Im wondering the same thing. I want to open the valve as much as possible but don’t want issues with the bleed screw. It’s too bad they don’t say something alone the lines of “ do not do more than 3/4/5 full rotations.
I might just take it off in the name of science wish me luck
@@PrestonClark801 good luck man
@@diegoperez2279 pulled it all the way out. I didn’t see any springs or anything else come out with it so I wouldn’t be too worried about pulling it out. It might mess with sensors or something but that’s above my pay grade 😂.
@@PrestonClark801 haha nice!!!!
I have 30 drip emitters on the same station, 6 are leaking. Will this fix the leak on 6 emitter? I will try nothibg to loose.
Just as I expected, it did not fix the leak on the 6 out of 30 emitters. In the first place, if there is debris stuck on the vavle, all 30 emitters should all be leaking. I called customer service and I was told vavle is not closing properly.
How much cost ten ench timer
When it's watering time, No water is coming from any of my 15 sprinklers. Why?
the controller doesn’t have power.
What happens if you remove the screw? An old schooler taught me to always remove the bleed screw completely to flush and bleed the valves but now I'm worried 😂
it will be difficult for some people to put the screw back on forcing it against the water pressure.
of course an expert like you has no problem with that.
My question is: how the heck do you know how many turns to you need to unscrew before the bleed screw falls off? ... typical case of incomplete instructions.... but not a big deal either.
Thanks boomers
